I'm looking to get a few tattoos and a brand in the near future. One of the tattoos I'm looking for is the church bars, and I'd like to meditate during the brand so it would be great if I could get these done by a member of the CoBM so I could be in an environment where the spiritual experience was an every-day thing.

I live in AZ, so it would be great if I could find someone in the state, but I love road trips so anywhere within a 14 hour drive would be okay. There's got to be someone out there who can handle the tattoos with a 14 hour drive.

As for the brand, I was once learning to be a mod artist, and I received and assisted on moxibustion brands. I know the process and the materials required. I could bring everything with me and would only require a little help placing the strikes on my skin. Anyone familiar with proper sterile procedure would easily be able to handle this. The only question: Is moxibustion branding legal in your state?

If there's anyone out there, please let me know. I'll go as far as I need to. I am very serious about finding someone who is a CoBM member and a talented tattoo artist. (Not that the tattoos I want are going to be a technical or artistic challenge, but still.)

So if you know someone or you are someone who can help me out, please, please, please do let me know! I tip well.

Sometimes I wonder if I can say anything in less than a hundred words.
